Cooler weather, Halloween, pumpkin pie – autumn is finally here, which means there is much to look forward to. Just as the leaves are changing colors, the primetime networks are changing their line-ups with a slew of new television shows. Here is a guide to some of the new programs.

“Single Parents” – This new comedy focuses on a group of single parents trying to get by! The pilot follows single dad Will Cooper – played by Taran Killam – who is obsessively caught up in his daughter’s life until he meets other single parents willing to help him become his own person. While Killam is forced to play more of the straight man, the true comedic performances belong to Brad Garrett and Leighton Meester. Additionally, the cast’s child actors are equally as funny – if not funnier – than the adults. “Single Parents” had me laughing quite frequently and its first episode had a sweet, mushy ending to boot. It airs Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. on ABC.

“A Million Little Things” – This ABC drama is obviously the network’s attempt of having its own “This Is Us.” The show focuses on a group of friends dealing with life’s ups and downs in the wake of one of their own committing suicide. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. The show tells a few interesting stories that I would like to see play out and the cast has decent chemistry. If you have room in your busy television schedule, “A Million Little Things” would be something to check out. It airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on ABC.

“Manifest” – This mystery drama centers around the passengers of a flight who land to the shocking news that they have been presumed dead for five years. The story follows Michaela and Ben Stone, a pair of siblings who were aboard the mysterious flight with Ben’s son. Michaela’s an ex-cop who begins hearing voices, and Ben is trying to reconnect with his family while finding a new treatment for his son, who has leukemia. The pilot was interesting enough to keep me around for a few more episodes, but I am a bit worried about the show’s longevity. It airs on Mondays at 10 p.m. on NBC.

“The Cool Kids” – This comedy is from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star Charlie Day. The show follows a group of seniors living in a retirement community. Leslie Jordan, Martin Mull and David Alan Grier star as three men who, after the death of their former buddy, have a seat available at their exclusive table. Vicki Lawrence’s character Margaret promptly enters to take it – much to the men’s dismay. If you enjoy cheap laughs, this is the show for you. Vicki Lawrence is fantastic in anything she’s in, but I do not think her talent is enough to inspire me to keep watching this show. It airs Fridays at 8:30 p.m. on FOX.
